I rest
my hand across your lips
Feel your breath upon my fingertips
No longer can I delay what is right
But this love,
it won't give up without a fight
I'll write a note and tear it up
There are no words
that could say enough
I know I'm gonna hurt you
when I walk out that door
But I swear it's gonna hurt
me even more
You taught me how to laugh,
you taught me how to cry
When I gave up you even
taught me how to try
There's one more thing to learn before
I spread my wings and fly
You're gonna have to teach
me how to say
Goodbye,
goodbye
Wish I could see your dreams tonight
Wish I could make them turn out right
Tempted to turn back for just one last kiss
But my heart tells me it's
better just like this
So this is how the story ends
When love is gone,
you can't pretend
No matter who else I
give my heart to
There's a part of it that still
belongs to you
You taught me how to laugh,
you taught me how to cry
When I gave up you even
taught me how to try
There's one more thing to learn before
I spread my wings and fly
You're gonna have to teach me how
to say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
You made me strong when I was weak
You gave my heart a voice to speak
You must have known this
day would come
When the lesson's all done
All except for one, oh no
You taught me how to laugh,
you taught me how to cry
When I gave up you even
taught me how to try
There's one more thing to learn before
I spread my wings and fly
You're gonna have to teach me
how to say
Goodbye
You're gonna have to teach
me how to say
Goodbye
you
